Agricultural Tech: This MeitY-backed deeptech startup AIGROEDGE uses IoT sensors to monitor farms and improve crops

#agritech #farming #IoT #startups #agriculture #deeptech #ai #artificialintelligence #dataanalytics #saas

Delhi-based deeptech startup AIGROEDGE Technologies, co-founderd by Mayank Rajput, ABHAI TIWARI, and Akshay Taneja, has built a proprietary #IoT sensor that monitors agricultural lands in real-time and improves crop visibility for farmers.

AIGROEDGE has built a proprietary intelligent farming kit, which includes an Internet of Things (IoT) based sensory device known as ‘KRAASHAK’ and a #SaaS-based analytics platform called AgriVitals.

The Delhi-based startup measures soil parameters (temperature, moisture, conductivity, pH level, moisture absorbance rate); environmental parameters (temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, light intensity, CO2 level, and weather data from external stations); and geographic parameters in real-time by deploying multiple sensor nodes across agricultural fields. Typically, one acre of land requires five sensors to capture adequate data.

AIGROEDGE operates on a B2B model; its customers include farms and agritech firms, genetic and plant breeding companies, and government and farm finance providers.

Funding Alert: Sequoia invests in Singapore quantum computing startup Horizon

#quantumcomputing #technology #startups #programming

Singapore-based Horizon Quantum Computing startup aims to make quantum computing accessible to every developer. It just raised an undisclosed amount funding led by Sequoia India, bringing its total seed money to US$3.2 million.

Founded in 2018, Horizon is developing tools so that programs designed for conventional computers can be automatically adapted for quantum processors.

Horizon said its approach is different. It looks to enable developers to build programs with fewer lines of code and automatically optimize their programs for real processors.

Some deep-tech players in Singapore are also looking to make quantum computing more accessible. One example is Entropica Labs, which is also backed by SGInnovate as well as Wavemaker Partners, among other investors. Another player is SpeQtral, which is developing space-based quantum communication systems.

Citing a study from Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Consulting Group, Horizon said the quantum applications market can reach over US$260 billion by 2050 as adoption picks up.
